The Remembrance Of Eight
Years.
TRENTON, TODD Co., KY,
February 18th, 1887.

Gentlemen-I had "a sore on my
upper lip for eight years. Seven
different doctors attempted in vain
to heal it. One gave me a small
bottle for So, which was a "certaln
cure.p 1t Is needless to say that it
did me no good. About two years
ago became quite uneasy, as peO.
pie thought l had cancer, and
took a course of eighteen bottles OF
$. s. s. The result was complete
cure. The ulcer or cancer healed
beautifully, leaving scarcely per
ceptible scar. From that day |
have been in excellent health, the
Specific having thoroughly cleansed
my blood, increased my appetite
and perfected my digestion. In a
word, feel like a new woman, and,
best of all, the eight year cancer is
gone entirely.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. w. u. CANNON.

The old lady stopped short, look,

His wife nudged him, but he was

"Wedding! Is Bessie going to

And then, perforce, there were

As to Master Johnny, his delight
knew no bounds, and he dashed in
to the yard and fairly rolled on the

"Now that you have so kindly

lady, smilingly, "you must Of course

CULTIVATION OF CROPS.

After seed has come up, the ire.
quent stirring of the soil will prove
beneficial. 1t is not generally
necessary to caution any one against
stirring the soil too frequently, still
this may, not impossibly, be some
times overdone, at least as regard.
ed from a financial :polnt of view.
Following a rain, and after the
land is dried sufficiently to be in
good working condition, is the best
possible time for giving the soil a
thorough stirring; for then it will
he left IN a fresh, lively condition,
that will give the growing crop a
surprising start.
1t may be we'll to note here that
it is not profitable to stir the soil
when it is too wet, or to hoe crops
when they are dripping with water,
as some people do; even cabbages,
celery, and turnips are not bene-
flied, if indeed they escape serious
injury, under such treatment.
In cultivating crops of any de-
scription, 1t is necessary to bear in
mind that, when they are young
and growing rapidly, it will be prop
or to cultivate deeper and nearer
to the plants than at a later stage,
when growth is not so rapid. At
the later stage, such active cultiva-
ton would have a tendency to rlpen
off the crop, rather than promote
Its growth.
During dry season, or a period
of extended drought, the more fire.
Quently the soil is stirred around a
growing crop the better, as the
loosening up of the surface soil
will draw the moisture from below
upwards, within reach OF the feed
ing roots of the plants, and thus
enable them TO absorb it.
In the case of any crop planted
in rows, it is good plan to stir
the soil and cut down the weeds,
Immediately after the plants come
up, IN the following manner; Take
an ordinary harrow and remove
the front tooth then drye along
each row of plants, keeping 1t
exactly between the horses and
central to the harrow. This har'
rowing will not disturb them
in the least, and just at
this stage will promote their
growth surprisingly. The weeds,
of course, will not be exterminated
entirely but their first early
growth will be e1ectually destroy
ed, and they will more easily be
kept under during the rest of the
season.
Parasitic insects and vegetable
parasites Ito which latter class be-
long smut, blight, mlldew, etc.
cause heavy losses and disappolnt-
ments to all cultivators Of the land
both on farms aad in gardens
The more thrifty the habit and con-
dition Of the plants, the less Will
they be liable to such ravages.-
Thorough and constant cultivation
disturbs and destroys the laryI,
reinforces the plant, and enables 1t
to withstand parasitic attacks, both
animal and vegetable, to good adj
vantage.-W. w. RdusOn.

FALSE PRETENSE.
A Dishonest Bill Collector Arrested
and Lodge d I'm Jail By HIS
Employer.

About two weeks ago young white
man named Herman Brenper was
given bill to collect for Mr.. Poston,
who owns q grocery at the corner OF
Third and Auction streets. The bill
amounted to $l3, and though Brenner
collected the money he failed to turn
it over TO Mr. Poston. Yesterday the
latter received nota from Bremen, in
which he stated that he was going to
Vicksburg for day or two, and upon
his return he would pay the money.
Poston, however, swore out a warrant
before Justice Wellborn, charging
Brenner with obtaining money under
false pretenses. The warrant was
placed in the hands OF Deputy Wealth
erford, who arrested Brenner at the
Mississippi and Tennessee depot and
carried him to iAil.
